so which linux distro should you use? that question has no right or wrong answer ;)
i don't know much about virtualization, but if I had 4 (or 5) servers to do those things, here's what i would use: 1) CENTOS: SVN & MySQL 2) Slackware: Tomcat & Trac (if if runs inside of Tomcat) 3) Slackware: Tomcat 4) Slackware: Tomcat generally: Centos is full-featured but also somewhat heavyweight and bolted down out of the box Slackware is very flexible but we've found it's lack of package management difficult and as such use it only for httpd/tomcat I've never touch SuSE or Ubuntu so can't comment on those. Gentoo is super high performance but could lead to your head exploding during setup.
